Hi Group.... My name is Suzanne..I am 27 YO, and my father, Adam, age 65 this year has advanced PD (and Alzheimer's)....I joined this group to find information to help my mother and I care for the best possible way. He is still at home, against the objection of many a relative. But where are they at 2:00 am when Daddy can't be controlled?? (Sorry, sometimes I get mad that my siblings cannot handle this and my mom and I are left alone to deal with it..) My mom is 60 this year and bless her, she is a saint. My Dad is not the easiest patient but Mom promised that she's never put him in a nursing home. I wish sometimes that she had. It's so hard on us, but then I look at Daddy and it's even harder on him. My Dad's meds consist of.......If I can remember all of them, I am sure I will leave some out....Sinimet, .....ooh my mind is blank..I cannot remember any of them..Well, it is 2:30 in the morning as I write this. I don't sleep much though. I will remember later. I wish my mother would attend a caregiver's support group. But she's too busy with Daddy. For now, I *am* her support group. My only child is handicapped, so unlike her other children,I know first hand what it's like caring for someone round the clock. I pray for patience. I pray for answers. Most of all, I just pray...I am so glad I found this list. Private e-mail always welcome...... Suzanne** [log in to unmask] Houston, TX "Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom...." -Gen.
